Azo reactive dyestuffs containing a fluorotriazinyl group

ABSTRACT

Dyestuffs of the formula  &lt;IMAGE&gt;  having the substituent meanings given in the description, are suitable for dyeing and printing materials containing hydroxyl groups and carboxamide groups.

The invention relates to azo reactive dyestuffs of the formula ##STR2## wherein R₁ =H, optionally substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkyl or optionally substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy,

R₂ =C1, optionally substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkyl, optionally substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy or acylamino and

A= ##STR3## wherein R₃ =C₁ -C₄ -alkyl or C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy and

B=CH₂, S, SO, SO₂, O or N--R₄, where

R₄ =H or optionally substituted C₁ -C₆ -alkyl.

Suitable substituents for R₄ are, in particular, OH, OSO₃ H, SO₃ H and COOH.

Examples of suitable acylamino radicals are C₁ -C₄ -alkylcarbonylamino, C₁ -C₄ -alkylsulphonylamino, phenylsulphonylamino, phenylcarbonylamino, phenyl-C₁ -C₄ -alkylcarbonylamino and --NHCONH₂, it being possible for the alkyl and phenyl radicals to carry the customary substituents.

Preferred dyestuffs are those of the formula ##STR4## wherein A has the abovementioned meaning.

Particularly preferred dyestuffs are those of the formula ##STR5## wherein A'= ##STR6##

The preferred method of preparation of the reactive dyestuffs (1) is characterized in that 7-amino-1,3-naphthalenedisulphonic acid is diazotized, the diazotization product is coupled to aniline derivatives of the formula ##STR7## and the resulting colour bases of the formula ##STR8## are subjected to a condensation reaction with 2,4,6-trifluoro-s-triazine and an amine HA in succession, HF being split off.

The new dyestuffs are suitable for dyeing and printing materials containing hydroxyl and amide groups, in particular cellulose materials. They are distinguished by a high reactivity and a high degree of fixing. The dyeings or prints obtainable with these dyestuffs on cellulose materials are moreover distinguished by a high fibre-dyestuff bond stability and by an outstanding stability towards oxidizing agents, such as detergents containing peroxide or chlorine. The ease of washing out of the hydrolysis products formed to only a minor degree during dyeing or printing is excellent. The dyestuffs have good wet-fastness properties.

The formulae shown are those of the free acids. The salts, in particular the alkali metal salts, such as sodium salts, potassium salts or lithium salts, are in general obtained during the preparation.

The dyestuffs can be employed either as solid formulations or as concentrated solutions.

EXAMPLE 1

23.6 g of the monosodium salt of 7-amino-l,3-naphthalenedisulphonic acid are stirred into 150 ml of water/30 g of ice and 20 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and 17 ml of an aqueous sodium nitrite solution (300 g of NaNO₂ /l) are added dropwise at 5°-10° C. After the mixture has been stirred at 5°-10° C. for one hour, the excess nitrous acid is removed with amidosulphonic acid.

This cream-coloured suspension is now metered into a neutral solution of the coupling component, which has been prepared from 13.5 g of N-(3-aminophenyl)acetamidehydrochloride, 50 ml of water, 50 g of ice and about 30 ml of 10% strength aqueous lithium hydroxide solution, in the course of 30 minutes. During this procedure, the pH of the reaction mixture is kept constant at 6.0-6.5 with 20% strength aqueous potassium bicarbonate solution. If possible, the temperature should not exceed 10° C. When the addition is completed, the mixture is subsequently stirred for 30 minutes, during which the pH is still kept constant.

The red-brown coupling solution is cooled to 0° C. with ice and about 11 g of trifluoro-s-triazine are added. The pH is kept constant at between 6.0 and 6.2 by metering in potassium bicarbonate solution or sodium carbonate solution. The condensation reaction has ended after 5-10 minutes. A solution of 13.4 g of morpholine hydrogen sulphate in 50 ml of water is added, the pH is kept constant at 7.5-8.0 with sodium carbonate solution and the reaction temperature is allowed to rise slowly to 25° C. The second condensation reaction is subsequently stirred for about 1 hour, until the pH no longer changes towards lower values. 30 g of sodium chloride and 30 g of potassium chloride are added, the mixture is stirred for a further hour and the dyestuff which has precipitated is isolated by filtration with suction. After drying at 60° C. in vacuo, 55 g of a salt-containing orange-red dyestuff powder of the formula ##STR9## (λ_(max) =396, 460 (sh) nm (H₂ O)), which dyes cotton in brilliant golden yellow shades of high fastness, are obtained.

By varying the amine HA, further useful golden yellow reactive dyestuffs of the formula ##STR10## are accessible analogously to Example 1:
